    To be frank I find that RT news although have some connotation behind them, a lot of times carry more information than what you are feeded by the establishment through BBC.
    Aren't we supposed to understand other mentalities and cultures or it is part of the same rhetoric that everything different than what we currently have, is communism, and must dye?
    BBC is just "news" for the happy go lucky housewives, hair dressers that need something on the tv. News for the masses.

                RT few times reported stories that other outlets wouldn't dare to report. There was particular one where BBC and others catched on few months later when interested parties figured plausible cover up story. Then RT was given a warning that they are going to pull their license. Since then I don't think they publish anything controversial. Censorship in mainstream media is quite strong.

                    If you take into account this bias, to some degree their reporting is (was) much better than BBC.

                      It's pretty binary when it comes to Russia - you are either a hero or a zero (AKA Mor On).
